Gynocomastia - born with it, what now??

[afroking]

Hey all,

Havent been here in a while, because to be quite honest, havent been crazy into the gym scene for a while, more or less just been 'plodding along' as we say in my native england tongue!!

Anywho, Basically ive had gyno since a young age, and found a company in Leeds called Harvey Medical and had it treated with them, by means of Lyposculpture... Which basically, knackered my chest. You can tell by looking at me that there is something wrong with my chest, and ive ben living with this 'treated chest' for a little over 3 years now. (Ill post pics soon so u can see what im talking about, excuse the cat - i was drunk!!)
Its really driving me mad and making me very upset and angry at myself at the same time, for being born with this 'infection', 'disease', 'condition' whatever you want to call it.

So im just wondering if there is honestly any hope for me having a decent chest in my life? Im still lifting decent weight now, even tho im not eating right (im eating clean, just nowhere near enough). im lifting about 80kg (including bar).

I would really appreciate peoples thoughts?

Thanks,

Adam....

I believe surgery is your best option. I'm not sure if Nolva or Rebound XT would help you since you were born with it and it already settled.

ive already had the surgery, thats half the problem...

If you removed the lump, then what is left is skin and fat. Reducing your body fat may help since the skin would have to tighten. Obviously another alternative is to have big chest, but that takes years to develop.

hence my other thread...

it can get bigger, of course! that's what happens when too much estrogen runs in your body without any control.
You might need surgery, there is no way around it. When you do a cycle have an anti estrogen on hand to use ASAP, when the lump develops.

It depends if it is gyno or just fat. If it is gyno, then yes steroids will most likely increase it. Proper PCT and during cycle precautions may prevent it, but you are basically taking the risk.

Not all steroids are injectable. injectables are just preferred because they minimize the damage done to the liver and more can get into the system by bypassing the liver. So yes even oral could cause gyno or irritate it.

How you know is little tough because many confuse fat with gyno specially if they had high body fat. Depending on the size, you could tell from the shape or if you feel your breast, do you feel a lump under your nipple. Another way is to see a doctor who can tell you if it is or not.

i can feel a little lump but its small the problem is in the puffy nipples. if i run anabol tablets in low dosage does it help to avoid the gyno effect?

No, besides whats the point of taking steroids at a low dosage?

[Fuse]

the lack of a lump would mean its NOT gyno?

hopefully once i get home and start my HIIT and cut back on weighlifting i can lower my body fat % a fair bit over a 1 month period with some ephedra and caffeine...
